 Residents of Gyeonggi Province and Marines based out of USAG Yongsan came together for ceremony celebrating an agreement between the two. We're adopting each other and so if they need help then we're saying that we're going to be there for them and vice versa obviously. The partnership helps the residents of Gyeonggi Province and it also provides the Marines with an opportunity. It gives the young Marines more than just the military experience, it gives them the experience of actually living and working, eating and enjoying time with otherwise people that they wouldn't get to know. The Marines showed their appreciation with the picnic. Sergeant Stecklenberg thinks this kind of program is an important part of the Marines image. We could stay on our base and stay isolated from them but what does that say about us? Specialist Tyler Ferris, Jinguang, Korea.
